Proposed Extension of Rapahoe Camping Ground Lease
The Grey District Council is proposing to extend the Rapahoe Camping Ground lease term from the standard five years (as permitted under the Right of Renewal) to 33 years.
The campground owner is seeking a longer-term lease to provide certainty before committing to significant investment and improvements at the site.
Under the Reserves Act 1977, any lease extension to 33 years requires a public consultation process.
We invite anyone wishing to make a submission or lodge an objection to email their views to: submissions@greydc.govt.nz by 4pm on Friday, September 19.
Submissions or objections may also be dropped into Grey District Council’s office at 105 Tainui Street, Greymouth 7805.
PO Box 382, Greymouth 7840
More information regarding the proposal can also be obtained from the Council on request.
